Wonderful experience. The staff were very knowledgeable and entertaining. We were taught how to make rice paper rolls, Báhn Xèo and Phó. We then got to enjoy our own cooking. A must do experience if you are in HCMC.

Lovely day! Thank you to Spencer for being such an awesome guide. I had a really good time at the market and in the cooking class. Every dish was sooo delicious, and the host prepared everything for us, including cleaning up and preparing the ingredients. Overall, I had a great time and will come back soon haha.

Spent my birthday learning something new and mindful — crafting our own signature scent with two friends. A perfect way to celebrate!

The trip was so much fun especially i like the most is black virgin mountain, even though it was quite a long journey. If you wanna go there i recommended turn down by coaster, there's so much fun! In my opinion, booking a tour is an absolute must for this trip because it makes everything so much easier and more enjoyable. Most importantly, having a tour guide makes all the difference. Huge thanks to our guide, Kenny! He’s super cool, friendly, and always kept a bright, cheerful energy throughout the day. Good job, Kenny! Wishing you all the best and continued success in your work. As for the price, it’s completely worth it for the experience you get. Awesome! 😆

What an amazing experience!! Our dedicated chef was friendly, knowledgeable and very encouraging. Our tour through the Ben Tanh markets was a fantastic way to see how local markets and vendors function. The lessons were easy to follow and the food was absolutely delicious. A huge advantage was having the ingredients pre-prepared by the cooking staff on hand. Additionally, a lot of thought and effort was put into making sure allergy requirements were met. A wonderful experience from start to finish.

It's a very nice ride in and around major places in district 1 of Saigon. Would recommend it. Also it doesn't have any guide who prefers no noise no explanation during the ride this is the one.

We had a wonderful morning exploring Ho Chi Minh City with our guide, Penny. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the tour both enjoyable and informative.
We visited the Saigon Central Post Office, Independence Palace, and the War Remnants Museum. Penny shared fascinating insights into the history and culture of each site, making the experience even more meaningful. Unfortunately, the Notre Dame Cathedral was closed for renovations, but Penny ensured we still made the most of our visit to the area.
The tour was well organised from start to finish. Our driver was punctual, friendly, and professional, and the private vehicle was clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned, making it easy to relax between stops.
This was a fantastic introduction to Ho Chi Minh City, and we highly recommend this Klook tour. If you're lucky enough to have Penny as your guide, you're in for a memorable and enjoyable experience!
